Deng Xianfeng is the squad leader of the Logistics Department of the Second Division of the puppet "Peaceful National Founding Army".
At this time, he was sitting and driving the car swaying along the road while thinking about how to persuade Shi Sha, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Shi Sha is the platoon leader of this logistics team. He was captured during the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu, and he had no choice but to join the "Peaceful National Founding Army".
In his words, "Can we not join? If we don't join, this head will be gone! In order to still be able to breathe, I have to bow my head!"
There are many such soldiers in the pseudo "Peaceful National Founding Army".
To be precise, the vast majority of them are soldiers like this.
otherwise……
Wearing yellow leather, being called a name, and being stabbed in the back by the common people... for what?
Before this, Deng Xianfeng had tested Shi Sha several times.
Every time I was angry with the Japs or scolded by Li Ergui... Li Ergui was the company commander's nickname. This guy was a traitor. Before he became a traitor, he was a gangster who bullied the market. He had no other skills and would flatter others and deceive others.
It's a good hand.
But the pseudo-"Peace Founding Army" likes to use people like this.
There is no other reason. This kind of talent is really what everyone in China calls for beating. They can only work for the Japanese with one mind, otherwise they will have no way to survive, so the Japanese can use them with confidence.
Li Ergui's surname is Li, and his real name is Li Ergui.
Everyone thought he was just a second devil, so they called him Li Ergui intentionally.
The most incompetent people like Li Ergui are afraid of people like Shi Sha who can fight and lead troops.
Because soldiers on the battlefield obey Shisha, and if they follow him, they can survive.
Li Ergui thought to himself that if Shi Sha accidentally made a meritorious deed and got on top of him, nothing would happen to him.
Therefore, Li Ergui always kept Shi Sha wearing small shoes.
Stealing credit, giving less equipment, giving less supplies... these are common things, and they are so brave that they give dangerous tasks to Shi Sha and let him go ahead.
Every time at this time, Deng Xianfeng would advise Shi Sha: "Platoon leader, this is too bullying. Can we swallow this?"
At this time, Shi Sha just sighed and replied: "Forget it, everything is still the same? What can we ordinary people do? It's good to be alive!"
Deng Xianfeng understood why Shi Sha had this reaction.
Shi Sha, who was once a company commander, was also deceived by Shang Feng into leading his troops forward on the Songhu battlefield. His subordinates were killed and injured. When he turned around to ask for reinforcements, he found that Shang Feng had already disappeared.
From that moment on, Shi Sha gave up. What he often said was:
"Brother, the world is as black as crows, how can it not be like this?"
"Why do we little people think so much? Just take care of yourself!"
…
Deng Xianfeng lowered his head and looked sideways forward. While he skillfully held the steering wheel and drove the car around the corner, he turned his head and said to Shi Sha: "Platoon commander, the Tiger Gorge is ahead!"
Laohu Gorge is deep and densely forested, with mountains stretching for more than ten miles on both sides. It is a place often frequented by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.
Shi Sha said "Yeah", turned around, patted the partition of the car, and shouted loudly: "Cheer up, we are going to cross the Tiger Gorge!"
"Yes!" came the response from his subordinates: "Cheer up and prepare for battle!"
Shi Sha took out the cannon box from his waist, held it in his hand and carefully observed the peaks on both sides, while holding the car door with his left hand, ready to open the door and jump out of the car at any time.
"Old Deng!" Shi Sha confessed: "Just lower your head so you can see the road. The enemy likes to beat the driver!"
"Yes!" Deng Xianfeng pressed his head as he was told.
After a pause, Deng Xianfeng said intentionally or unintentionally: "Platoon leader, I heard that the Eighth Route Army is different from other troops. Is this true?"
"What nonsense!" Shi Sha replied without thinking: "They are all just trying to trick you into working for your life. What's the difference?"
"I heard that people just focus on fighting the Japanese and driving the Japanese out of China!" Deng Xianfeng said, "It's not just for promotion and wealth, that's different!"
"Shut up!" Shi Sha searched the peaks on both sides with his eyes and replied casually: "If Li Ergui hears this, I'll have to charge you with being a collaborator and kill you!"
"Just kill me!" Deng Xianfeng replied: "Isn't it just a life? Living like this is too frustrating! Platoon leader, haven't you ever thought about changing your life?"
Shi Sha seemed to understand something, and slowly cast his vigilant eyes on Deng Xianfeng, asking: "I said, Old Deng, you are not... leading our brothers into the pit, are you?"
Deng Xianfeng smiled and replied: "Platoon leader, didn't I take you and your brothers out of the fire pit?"
Shi Sha made a "cut" sound: "You can't tell, there are two hands!"
Then he suddenly put a box cannon against Deng Xianfeng's head and ordered: "Stop the car, or I will shoot you!"
Not only did Deng Xianfeng not stop, he also used a little force to speed up, and then said without changing his expression: "Platoon leader, there is a cliff more than ten meters high next to this place. Just think about the consequences of shooting! I stretched out my foot...
I really led you and your brothers into a trap!"
Shi Sha looked to the side, then looked at Deng Xianfeng's indifferent expression, and knew that he could really do it.
"I'm talking about Lao Deng!" Shi Sha put away his gun and said, "Brother, I will treat you very well. It would be a bit unkind to do this!"
"Platoon leader!" At this point, Deng Xianfeng simply made it clear to Shi Sha: "I won't say any more nonsense, you know it in your heart. Just think about it, if I didn't care about brotherhood, how could I talk to you at this time?
Open the skylight and speak frankly?"
After hearing this, Shi Sha was stunned.
What this said was that he had known Deng Xianfeng for more than half a year and was one of Shi Sha's most valued subordinates.
And in the past six months, Deng Xianfeng had never shown any flaws. Why did he let him see through it today?
Unless Deng Xianfeng intentionally let him see through it.
Deng Xianfeng advised with sincerity: "Platoon leader, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Do you feel comfortable living like this? Isn't it living? Why do you have to be stabbed in the back by the common people and even your family? Look at the way the fellow villagers look at us.
That look, is it looking at one of our own people? They are treating us like devils and lackeys!"
After a pause, Deng Xianfeng continued: "Let's do it! We have reached the agreed point two miles ahead. If you are willing, go to the Eighth Route Army and try it. If not, I will slow down when turning ahead.
The speed of the car, if you jump out of the car and burrow into the grass, no one will notice. We are brothers, and there is only so much I can do!"
Shi Sha thought for a while and thought that what Deng Xianfeng said was true.
Because Deng Xianfeng did not need to take this risk, he could wait until he entered the Eighth Route Army ambush point or was about to arrive before saying this.
But Deng Xianfeng still gave him a choice in advance, which was the most benevolent thing.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Sha nodded slightly: "Keep going!"
Deng Xianfeng turned to look at Shi Sha and responded excitedly: "Yes!"
